A Fierce and Brutal Glass OF Semi-CivliEed
Afghan subjects.

A Fierce and Brutal Glass OF Semi-CivtliEed
Afghan subjects.
Mukkur, where an Afghan regiment
was annihila,ed by Ghilzai rebels,
is considered by the simple vii
layers who live there a place of some
Importance. On the margin Of y pool
hard by, under the shade Of willow and
asfStrees, there is a shrine dedicated to
the once famous Shcik Mahommed Ra~
wani. who lived and died at Mukkur
centuries ago. Higher up, on a rock
oyerhanging the water, you may see a
rival shrine dedicated to the equal
famous Khoja BLAND Sshib; and help.
every Friday evening, the fairies and
hobgoblins meet, Ginns and Peris, t.
hold high rcvclry. All through the
night the villagers of Mukkur can hes,
Ike sound Of strange voices and the
oeating of drums, mingling with the
noise of the wind as il moves in the
pistachio trees
The district o. MuGkur is mostly in
habitcd by Ghilg&is Of the Taraki elan,
who are reckoncd the most respectable
and well disposed OF the race. Like
All GhilZais, they are descended from
hhilaji Turks. Iar GhiiHais, curious
Is enough, are said TO have once been
Armenian or Georgian Christians, who
returned or were converted for the
first time TO the fam of Mohammed
when their pastors forbade them t.
drink buttermiik on fast days. Even

embroidered with the figure of the
cross, and on certain occasions will
cross her arms and make the
sacred sign on her forehead.
Many of the Ghil2ai clans are
still nomads, with a confirmed taste for
cattle-lifting. Physically they are the
finest race in A~fghaniStan; the men tall
and strong, the ONE comely and
well made. But their natural ferocity
and the brutality of their manners
make them any thing bat pleasant
~neighbors OF amenable subjects
Reckoned all together, the Ghilzais
number some one hundred thousand
families, and any leader who could
promise them a fair prospectof plumber
could command the services of every
man fit TO bear arms. Under these
circumstances a general revolt of the
Ghilzais against the authority Of the
Ameer Abdur Rahman might prove a
very serious danger to the peace and
stability of his kingdom. 1t would
need all his energy and resources to
suppress such an uprising. which would
most likely be the signal, moreover,
for an instruction in Afghan-Toorkis-
tan. AS it is, there are already signs
of a widespread opposition to the
Ameer's officers. There are disturb
ances not only in the province Of Ghuz-
nee, but also in Laghman, a district in
the Cabul provinces lying north of the
direct road TO Cabul from Peshawur.
Laghman, according to the natives,
derives its name from Lamech, the
father of Noah, the ark having rested
on the mountains of Laghman afterthe
deluge. Lamech died and was buried
there. and years afterward the great
Sultan Mahmoud Of Ghuznee was or
dered in a vision TO build him a tomb.
This Mahmoud did; having first found
the actual spot where the holy man
lay, and, wonderful to relate, his very
body. This, at least, is what the people
believe.-Le6er Land ind Nicer.

KID-GLOVE MINING.

Talking OF mining on paper suggests its
opposite-mining for keeps, as the boys
who play marbles say. Utah has seen
the day when kid-glove mining was quite
fashionable, and, of course, expensive.
Superintendent were, some of them,
more ornamental than useful, especially
those OF imported breed. Operas, fast
horses, kid gloves and wine suppers
opened out rich. Dumps of wine and
beer bottles grew faster under their man
agement than dumps OF mineral The
mining and reduction OF ores was not
half 30 successful as the undermining
and reducing OF the capital invested.
Every practical miner knows that mining
on large scale, especially on the part
oil foreign corporations, has generally
been conducted on a more extravagant
scale than any other kind of business in
the country. Compare the results OF for
elgn management with American in Utah.
The larger the capital invested the greater
the extravaganza. The wreck of fine
properties and large plants in the leading

GOOD HOME DOCTRINE.

Referring to the unhappy condition OF
Europe when the people are taxed in
time OF peace for the maintenance of
their establishments upon war footing,
the New York Tribune complacently
remarks, "That is bad country to live
in where peace costs as much as war;"
True enough, and happy is America that
she is secure in her position, thanks
to the sea, from the conditions which
make European country such bad
one to live in. But the true significance
OF the Tribune's remarks lies in the ap-
plication to this country where war taxes
are maintained more than twenty years
after the war is over. If the
great Republican paper really believes
the sentiment embodied in its little
apothegm, why don't it advocate the
final placing OF our own system of taxa
ton on the peace basis instead OF insist
ing on the maintenance OF a war tariff,
the like OF which is not elsewhere in the
world, in this piping time OF peace?

The recent rise in the price OF Utah
wheat is not owing so much to a cores
ponding rise abroad as to large sales at
home. 1t is surmised that the Saints,
losing faith in the long delayed predic-
tions OF impending famine, and taking
advantage of low special rates on grain
to San Francisco, have unloaded their
garnered wheat on the western coast, so
that the home supply is short and prices
increase proportionately. 1t is a health
full advance for the farmers and will slim
ulate additional sowing in the spring.
With assured supplies OF water for irriga-
ton and living prices for grain, it is
probable that the area of cultivated fields
will be largely increased in the coming
season

THE DEMOCRAT is sorry to hear that
there is some dissention among the Cen
tile voters at Ogden, which threatens to
endanger the success OF the Liberal ticket
at the election there to-day. The cause OF
the disafiection is said to be the
preponderance of eleven to three in
favor of one political party over
the other, in the nominations made
by the Liberal Convention. While
such disproportion was certainly inju-
dicious upon the part OF the Convention,
it is to be hoped that it will not deter any.
one from voting the entire Liberal ticket
for its success will be glorious victory
over the common enemy of both Demo
Gratis and Republicans, and we might
also add-even OF Mugwumps.

mining districts of this Territory tell their
own story The remedy for this
state of affairs is the concentration
Of sufficient capital in few hands,
and the personal supervision Of
the work by one or more OF the investors.
Put the former successful management Of
the Old Telegraph group of mines or the
Ontario and DAILY in contrast with any OF
the great corporations with their imported
managers, and let actual results tell the
story. Scientific knowledge is necessary,
but it must be supplemented by practical
experience economically applied. Utah
furnishes vast and profitable field for
judicous investment in mining enter
prises. But their management must be
governed by the principles which insure
success in every other department of
business.

THE New York Independent, which
has heretofore advocated stringent legis-
lation against the union OF church and
state in Utah, appears to favor the repeal
OF the test oath law by which Mormon
votes have been excluded from Arizona
ballot boxes. Did the Independent favor
the Southern iron-clad oath? There was
more real American feeling and loyal
attachment to the old flag in the heart oi
Robert E. Lee or Stonewall Jackson than
ever existed in the combined Melchesidec
and Aaronic priests OF Utah. How can
the Independent object to a test oath
which no good and loyal citizen can re-
fuse to take precedent to voting?

THE DEMOCRAT has copy OF the Ed
munds-Tucker bill as it passed the Senate
and House. 1t commences: "Be it en-
acted by the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives Of the United States of
America in Congress, assembled. 3"
With that exception the entire
Senate bill is stricken out, and
on the fifteenth page commences the
substituted sections Uf the House. 1t is
fortunate that Mr.. Edmunds was the
author of the enacting clause, otherwise
he would doubtless have knocked the
smithereens out Of it in the Committee.
Like Charles Sumner, the Vermont
statesman evidently doesn't believe in
the Lords prayer because he didn't write
it himself.
